Advanced threats, multi-tenancy, and increased bandwidth from mobility, SaaS and Big Data are pushing security deeper into the network and driving firewalls over the critical 100G threshold.

Data Center Networks are transitioning from today’s 10 Gbps Ethernet fabric to Next-Generation Data Center architectures to enable flatter, scalable networks. Learn how Firewalls and Network Security must support 100GbE interfaces and multi-hundred Gbps speeds to maintain performance and protection in these new network architectures. Research and education (R&E), financial services, Internet/SaaS and service providers illustrate use cases that are paving the way for broader enterprise adoption of 100G Networking and Security.
